Porsche driver Thomas Preining says he is 'super happy to be in one piece' after a scary moment at Eau Rouge in the DTM race at Spa-Francorchamps. Story and video:
as they exited La Source on the opening lap, the two running neck-to-neck on the short dash to Eau Rouge.
The momentum the Austrian lost while going off the track meant he dropped to the lower reaches of the top 10 on the run to Les Combes, but after making an early pitstop he was able to recover lost ground and take the final spot on the podium behind race winnerIn the second race of the weekend, Preining made a brave move on Gotz's Winward Mercedes at the same Eau Rouge/Raidillon section, before pulling off a pass on Auer just prior to the opening left-hander en route to another third-place...
"I've had a few moments in my career obviously, normally it's not an issue at all but this one took me a lap or two to process. "I'm very glad we could keep going with no big damage and obviously getting the podium afterwards was good too. Gotz had a grandstand view of the battle between Preining and Auer and was able to avoid the out-of-control Porsche to move up to third place.
"And I thought, 'okay this is going to end up in a spin, crash or whatever' because there was only one dry line.
